"Stand up." Shuo Lei took a sip of wine, looked at Mandu on the ground and said.

"If Ben Khan hadn't said so, would they have sent you back unharmed? Will you let go of thousands of your soldiers? You are the most trusted person of Ben Khan. Your betrayal has left Ben Khan sad, but your return means it's all over! The past is not going to be pursued by Ben Khan."

"Great Khan~"

Mandu couldn't hold back his tears again.

"I was wrong! Woo~"

"Okay, stop crying. Let's have something to eat!"

"Yes!"

I don't know if I was hungry, or obeyed Shuo Lei's orders, Mandu devoured the food on the table.

Shuo Lei didn't move fast, just looked at Mandu Na quietly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Shuo Lei performed in front of many people, established a good image of humility for himself, successfully appeased Manduna, and made the worthless people respect him more and more.

And Taoglas was uncomfortable, Shuo Lei only cared about acting, and had no intention of contacting him at all.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Shuo Lei took a nap after lunch before calling Taoglas.

"You're here."

"Little one meets the Great Khan."

Taoglas was speechless, didn't they meet more than two hours ago? They didn't even look at me.

"Thank you, Great Khan, for bringing Manduna back."

"In order to show his sincerity in cooperating with Chechnya, my Great Khan naturally did what he said."

"Okay! In that case, that's what I said last time."

"The Great Khan is going to agree to an alliance with us Tushetu?" Taoglas was overjoyed, after running for so many days, the mission was finally completed!

"Hmm."

Shuo Lei nodded with a straight face.

"In that case, then please send troops as soon as possible!"

"Sending troops? What kind of soldiers?"

"Didn't the Great Khan say that he would make an alliance with us? Naturally, the purpose of sending troops is to fight against Zasaktu!"

"Zasaktu has attacked you?"

"Not yet."

"I didn't hit you, what's the hurry? Send troops now, 10,000 or 20,000 people eat and drink Lazar, you don't care? What if Zasaktu doesn't plan to do it? Will you come back? If Zasaktu is going to do it next year, will our people stay with you until next year?"

"This—" Shuo Lei asked him suddenly. But the Great Khan of my family said that if Subadi had known of his defeat, he would have done it!"

"Do you know now?"

"The little ones don't know."

"That's it, he doesn't know it's not necessarily. Why are I going to beat you guys? Besides, even if you know, you don't have to hit you, right? Does Ben Khan make sense?"

"Yes, it makes sense."

"If it makes sense, go back, Ben Khan. When he went back and told Gunbu about the alliance, Ben Khan agreed. If there's anything you need Ben Khan's help with, just ask. If Subadi wants to attack you, send someone to spread the news, and Ben Khan will send troops to help you retreat from the enemy as soon as possible!"

"This... Great Khan..."

"Can't you trust Ben Khan? Come on, here's pen and paper, let's sign a covenant."

Shuo Lei's words blocked everything Taoglas wanted to say.

Until he got out of Shuo's tent, Taoglas didn't react.

This alliance is done?

But this alliance, why does it seem to be over, and it doesn't seem to be over?

Touching the covenant written on the sheepskin in his arms, Taoglas's heart felt much better, if the Great Khan asked, there is no evidence for this, is it?

A farce caused by an alliance came to an end.

Mandu, who had defected to Tumut, had returned to Shuo Lei by chance, making his weakened strength a little stronger after repeated battles. On the contrary, Tushetu fled with thousands of soldiers under Mandu

, making their already not rich troops even worse.

After sending away Taugus and Manduna, Gon Bu traveled west to his tent.

50,000 when I went, and less than 20,000 when I came back.

He didn't know how to explain to the people of the tribe, even if he was the Great Khan and didn't have to explain to anyone.

Since it was not a triumph, there was naturally no celebration of singing and dancing, and the whole tribe was shrouded in great sorrow.

How many years has it been since there has been such a huge loss?

Compared to Shuo Lei's face of Manduna, who did not die, the problem faced by Gunbu may be more serious.

Because Subadi already knew the news of their defeat, and immediately summoned the leaders of the tribes under his command to discuss how to get a piece of the current situation.

"Great Khan, I think the most important thing at the moment is to keep us strong, although Gunbu has been defeated this time, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if you really bite us, we will also be very uncomfortable. Therefore, this matter should not be rushed, and it should be done steadily and gradually."

Subadi's idea was that since he knew that Tushetu was weak internally at this time, he would simply concentrate his forces and attack them with lightning speed, and swallow them in one go before they could react, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

His idea was approved by most people, because with Zasaktu's current strength, it would not be a problem to gather 50,000 elite cavalry within ten days. But at the same time, there are a small number of people who hold opposing opinions, such as Qi Muge, who just spoke, who believes that he should not be in a hurry and should be taken slowly. While annexing Tushetu, there should be no major damage to one's own strength, otherwise it would be easy to make a wedding dress for others.

"There are three major tribes in this Mobei, Chechen and Tumut have been crippled, now we are the only family, we were not afraid when they were the strongest, but now we are afraid of a fart?"

As soon as his Muge's words fell, some people scoffed, thinking that he was a little timid.

"Temur, I'm not afraid. I'm thinking about the tribe here, and I don't want the tribe to lose too much of it, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to dominate Mobei!"

"You're thinking about the tribe, aren't we? I ask you, you said that if we fight with Gunbu, we will let others take advantage of it. Who is this cheap? Chechnya and us are separated by a Tushetu? And who else?"

"What about the south? Mo Nan has just been annexed by the Ming Dynasty, have you all forgotten? Who can guarantee that they have not touched the heart of Mobei? If not, why send troops to Chechnya? Could it be that it's really just to capture a dispensable Ezhe?

If we don't preserve our strength and continue to fight like this, this Mobei will become a mess sooner or later, and there will be no need for Ming people to make a move at that time. Badali and Omubu, the two dogs that took refuge in the Ming people, can bite us to death!

We have to be careful! Don't work hard to swallow Tu Xie Tu, a few days have passed, and you will become meat on someone else's chopping board again, to be slaughtered!"
